Well, I do have to pay a few hundred dollars a year to the government for my insurance because I have too much money to be subsidized.
In addition, I'm out about $100 for some antibiotics I have to take before hand.
I choose to go with the standard room which means I might share with up to 3 others for the 5 days I will be in. It would have been about $1,000 dollars for a private room and I figure that buys a lot of earplugs. (that's for all 5 days btw, and I won't pay anything for the shared room)
Then, as every one in the US knows from the republicans, I have cancer and have to wait to get in for my surgery. In my case, that will be a total of about 7 weeks from diagnosis.
We do have a difficult time here in Canada. Not like in the US where you have the world's best health care system. I saw that on TV so it must be true. Does the Fox fib?
The prognosis is excellent so I will be lurking here for a few more years.
